GDPR compliance for ecommerce: BigCommerce is ready

Data privacy regulations require businesses to gain more explicit consent to collect and use data from individuals in the European Union.

What you need to know about GDPR

The EU General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, places the responsibility on businesses to give individuals more control over their personal data. And it's not limited to European businesses. You should consult a lawyer if you have any questions about how GDPR applies to your business, but, in general, any company offering goods or services to individuals in the EU must comply.

GDPR is premised on the belief that all users have the right to:

Know how their data is being used

Correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data

Erase or remove their personal data

Restrict data processing

Obtain and reuse their own personal data

Decide if data may be processed
